Poem from A/C/R
I got taken away from home
Now the state put me in a place that I don’t know
And they want me to call it home
All I want to do is to go back to my home
With my family and friends
They’re trying to put words in my mouth
Trying to tell me that my mama is bad
All I could do is sit here and let them hurt me slowly
And cry for my mama telling the air I love her and to pass it to her
And wish that an angel will come and save me
What else can I do?
I am doing a music review on the album Livin Shady by Brown Boy.
I like a lot of songs on the C.D, but my favorite is Superman. There's a lot of good songs on it, but there’s some that aren’t that good. I like how there's different types of songs like regeaton and sad songs. I would recommend getting this C.D. I give it 4 stars.

This book is about a kid named Brian Robinson. Yes, the same Brian Robinson that was in Hatchet. This time he goes to a stranded island of his own free will, and he goes with someone. He goes with an observer, so that he can teach the military strategies to survive in the wilderness. His homeboy gets struck by lighting and goes into a coma. Brian has to take his friend and himself to safety without getting killed. This book is a great one, so read it.

Movie review
I’m doing my movie review on the movie Blow. I thing that it was a very go movie. In the movie it showed you how you can make lots of money from selling drugs. But the guy can’t ever be happy, because he is always watching his back.
It also shows how the people that you thought were the world to you will turn their back on you for drugs. It shows you how drugs make you be a totally different person.
I think this movie deserves a 5 star, because it was a very good movie.

This week’s horoscope:
The Year Ahead
Forecast for March 2007 to March 2008
The Sun conjuncts Uranus and squares Jupiter in your Solar Return chart, suggesting exciting changes and new interests this year. Freedom is what you seek this year, and how you deal with this issue is the key to how this influence will play out. If you recognize your need for changes in key areas of your life and adapt accordingly, this can be an exciting year of discovery. However, if you resist change and insist on keeping things status quo, you are bound to feel very restless, tense, and rebellious. Still, making healthy changes should be the focus--change for the sake of change is not what you should be concentrating on. Do your best to look before you leap. Situations in your life that seem to curtail your freedom could be hard to handle now. Spontaneity, not impulsiveness, is the key to success this year. You are likely to find that it’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. It's a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Your personality is sparkling this year, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life.
With Mercury in creative aspect to Pluto around the time of your birthday this year, your mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions as well, and this increases your insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and attention. You are inclined to do a lot of “digging”, researching, analyzing, investigating, and getting to the bottom of things. Increased psychological awareness of yourself and others can benefit you greatly, and employing strategy in your decision making is easier than usual this year.
Venus sextiles Chiron and trines both Jupiter and Saturn at the time of your birthday this year, and you'll have a chance to heal old wounds with regards to love. You are especially open to love and romantic feelings and more willing to act upon them. You are more steady and responsible when it comes to your social and romantic relationships. This could be a year in which you solidify a romance. You're also bound to find new ways of making money.
This is an excellent year for strengthening social and romantic ties, getting serious about your finances but enjoying them as well, and breaking new ground on a mental level. You are highly stimulated, restless, and even excitable this year. As long as you look before you leap, the changes that you attract can be positive ones.
2007 is a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It's generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice - take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
Concert review
Ok, so last night I went to a My Chemical Romance concert and all I have to say is I freakin love them. At first Rise Against came and warmed the crowd with some Prayer of the Refugee. And suddenly the crowd went silent and My Chemical Romance performed their entire album The Black Parade. I screamed so loud today my voice is like gone and I’m so tired I hope I can stay awake. But when I thought it was all over they did their old CD and I couldn’t believe it. I knew all the songs and I sang along. But honestly it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. Granted it was the only concert I’ve ever been to. but still it was sweet.

In my own opinion I think that we should have relationships, at ARTEC, because people end up dating anyway. If there was dating in here there would probably be a lot of drama. But people wouldn’t have to be passing letters to ask people out they would just ask each other out in front of all the teachers, so you should start letting us date in here. So we don’t have to hide everything from you guys.

It’s about these four guys that have Harley Davidson motorcycles and they went on a road trip. And Martin Lawrence, Tim Allen, John Travolta, and William H. Macy are in it. And they have trouble with some bikers. And they got into pool and this cop that’s gay he jumps in with them and they’re in their birthday suits and then the cop jumps in and he’s naked too. Then the cop says Marco Polo and they get out of the pool.

The Outsiders
The Outsiders is a great book. It talks about three brothers, one who run away (Ponyboy) with his friend John, because they kill someone, and got away with murder. They run away and get on a train and go to a small town. All they have there is some candy bars and rain, which is water. Then they become heroes because they saved some little kids. When they come back there is a gang fight and things go terribly wrong. John gets really hurt, and goes to the hospital. Ponyboy gets to see him every day.

I think that Artec shouldn’t have uniforms, because people would get sick of wearing gray and white. Others feel the same way I do. Instead they should be able to wear whatever they want except for gang stuff and other stuff. Other schools let you wear whatever as long as you cover up and dress appropriate. These are the three reasons why they should change Artec uniforms.

I think that it is really stupid when people attempt suicide. The reason why I think that this is really stupid is because people think that no one likes them when in reality they really love them and will miss them when they're gone. I hope that when some one tries to kill themselves they will realize how many people will miss them even though they don’t realize it at the moment in the long run people will really miss them. I hope that people realize how much they are loved and missed when people find out they have attempted or have killed them selves.

My Issue
By: Trissina
I have an issue with all the staff and I think they need to CHILL OUT!!!
Don’t get me wrong I know they're trying to help us but... they need to not take their anger out on the students here at A.R.T.E.C for real.
Because in the past two days staff has been freaking out on me for stupid things that don’t even matter for example... A staff started to yell at me for tapping when a peer asked me to stop and I did and I said sorry and this staff kept yelling at me, so I told this staff “ You’re making me mad! ” And this staff started to lecture me on how it is a thinking error and it’s not okay to blame this staff for making me mad. So then while this staff was yelling at me I started to cry. I believe that the staff have no right to make students cry!
On the other hand the staff need to use their DBT, ART, TR, skills instead of freaking out on us!!
Both of these CDs are extremely good. Going home every weekend and listening to these two CDs are the only things keeping me from going on a rampage around here at ARTEC. I really suggest that you listen to them if you are not happy with the status quo around here.

Self-respect
Self-respect is more than love.
It’s more than a simple task.
It’s more than saying “I love my life.”
It’s a whole lot more than that.
Self-respect is like a ball
That rolls inside my mind.
It screams when I decide to fall
And leave my life behind.
Self-respect is my guide for help.
When I need a helping hand.
It’s there to lift me up to health
When I’m down and feeling sad.
Love, Stevie
Movie Review
By: Britiney
I am doing a movie review on Saw 3. I am doing a movie review on Saw 3 because it is a movie that has been stuck in my head for a couple of weeks now. I think it is a gross, gory movie. It also explains a little bit more of what happened &; what was going on in Saw 1&2 I’ll be honest the whole entire time I watched this movie I was hugging onto a pillow I was so scared of what was going on, I got sick to my stomach just watching Saw 3, but over all it was a really good movie.
Ufo sightings
By Reggie:
UFO sightings have happened all over the country and all they have to say about it is like they're discs with Christmas lights on it. When it's clear that there are space things out there. In my own opinion, I think it's impossible that humans are the only intelligent life forms in our entire universe.
What’s hot what’s not!
I think that camouflage is hot. I also think that skulls are hot. But the hottest thing I think is an emo boy. But on the other hand I think that wearing socks with flip-flops is not hot. Along with that, I think that walking around bare foot is not hot at all.
By: Sydney C.
I need advice
So, I like this boy and I guess I’m kind of going out with him, but I like some other boys.
What do I do? I really need help ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!. But I also need help with something else. So, at home I’m not doing so well and I might end up going to a foster home. Are they bad? Will I die in there? Are they really a lot different than a regular home? Please help me!!!!
By: Sarah M.
I was talking to student council. They said they were working on changing the uniform. I think that’s a bunch of bull crap. They won’t be able to change jack. ADMIN have already made up their minds. It’s like that movie Matilda when her fathers says. “ I’m right you’re wrong, I’m big you’re small, I’m smart you’re dumb, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Then I was talking to Sarah on student council. She said, “ too many people came to school wearing solid gang colors and they get into fights.”
Matt
Dear Artec
I think that the rules here are some what dumb because
we kids aren’t that bad some of us are but its not cool they
Shouldn’t be so structured but its not as bad as most people
This place is pretty cool if they get rid of the dress code
People get sent to ASR for the dumbest reasons and they never learn get smarter
People
I got taken away from home
Now the state put me in a place that I don’t know
And they want me to call it home
All I want to do is to go back to my home
With my family and friends
They’re trying to put words in my mouth
Trying to tell me that my mama is bad
All I could do is sit here and let them hurt me slowly
And cry for my mama telling the air I love her and to pass it to her
And wish that an angel will come and save me
What else can I do?
